Comment:
if we're dropping the alternative here, why not just drop it in `tar` as well?

If it does not work and there's not a test case, we'll have to write one.

There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository
bsdtar: do not provide tar alternative
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18833
Description:
Alternative for tar was introduced to make switch from gnu tar to bsdtar in base-devel easier.
However, bsdtar has different interface than gnu tar, and with alternatives using gnu tar as tar is actually harder when it is needed.
There are also many user-used scripts assuming gnu tar, which are broken now. They should not be affected because of internal matters of packaging.
